1 More Neat Stuff for your Emacs

3 This file describes GNU Emacs programs and resources that are
4 maintained by other people. Some of these may become part of the
5 Emacs distribution in the future. Others we unfortunately can't
6 distribute, even though they are free software, because we lack legal
7 papers for copyright purposes. Also included are sites where
8 development versions of some packages distributed with Emacs may be
9 found.
10
11 You might also look at the Emacs web page
12 <URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/emacs.html>. If you use the
13 Windows-32 version of Emacs, see the NTEmacs sites listed in the FAQ.
14
15 Please submit a bug report if you find that any of the addresses
16 listed here fail.
